Mr Fox says

Burru (SR:99, 9/2) is one of the two highest-rated runners in the field and carries only 11-5 — a meaningful weight advantage over top-weights Illtakehimmyself and Kings Jet both lugging 11-12. The market has shortened 17% since opening, the strongest inward move in the field, indicating genuine informed support. A MarkMv:-4 means connections are targeting this off a mark below his last win, and the 7-day turnaround signals a yard confident enough to run back quickly. Trainer Bernard Martin Crowley's 4% strike rate is modest, but jockey Michael Kenneally (11%, 392 rides) provides professional competence and the market move overrides stable-form concerns here. Each-way alternative: Miners Bridge. Main danger: Miners Bridge — Miners Bridge (SR:95, 4/1) is the co-highest-rated runner in the field, carries just 11-3 making it the lightest of the serious contenders, has a trainer (S Curling, 13% strike rate, 140 runners) and a market price that implies genuine confidence — at 4/1 it is the marginal favourite and its recent form of 5/72-4 shows consistency without a blowout that would concern.
